intro: (acoustic scratching noises preparing the
listener for a definitive rocker)
                     
the city has sex with itself i suppose
                                        ()
as the concrete collides, well the scenery grows
                                
and the lonely once bandaged lay fully exposed
                                    ()
having exposed their wounds for each other
                                       
and there is a boy in a basement with a four track
                                             
machine he?s been strumming and screaming all night,
 ()                                
down there.the tape hiss will cover the words that he
                             
sings but then they say it?s better to bury your
                                     
sadness in a graveyard or garden that waits for the
                                            
spring to awake from its sleep and burst into green
                            
and i?ve cried and you would think i would better for
                        
it but the sadness just sleeps and it stays in your
                                       
spine for the rest of your life and i?ve learned and
      
you?d think i?d be something more now, but it just
                               
goes to show it is not what you know its what you were


thinking at the time.   (then)

****the prog-latin part****:
       B#5  

repeat same repetition of verse/chorus music for last
verse:

this feeling?s familiar, i?ve been here before
in a kitchen this quiet i waited for a sign or just
somethingthat might reassure me of anything close to
meaning or motion (with a reason to move)i need
something i want to be close to
and i scream, but i still don?t know why i do it
because the sound never stays it just swells and
decays
so what is the point?
why try to fight what is now so certain?
the truth is all that i am is a passing event that
will be forgotten.
